I purchased the 91 245SE with 200K miles last year. Also a red wagon. This is what I have fixed in the last year (or not).
The auto trans linkage was bent.
The OD solenoid was bad (fixed with resoldering a wire though).
The crank sensor was bad (also broken wire but got a new one as they are cheap).
Auto trans cooling line cracked. So I essentially changed the tranny fluid. Probably a good idea.
Got stranded once with corroded fuse problems (typical 200 problem). Use OXY Gard on the fuse ends.
Heater valve is overly sensitve, needs replacement.
Has been running rough lately, now with 212K miles, so just did new plugs, wires, rotor, cap, air filter.
Speedo trip odo reset button broken.
AC doesn't work.
Needs front struts and RF ball joint. Have put Boge Turbos on rear already.
Just occured to me. with the shift lock, that happenned too, it was a corroded fuse also.
We were able to move the manual shift lock lever through the opening in the cover, but I guess that depends on your hand size.
